Procedure for a member that holds a Waterways General Boating licence prior to starting IRB/RWC training

• PowerCraft Workbook 1 is the Surf Life Saving equivalent of the NSW Waterways General Boating Licence.
• If a member holds a current (not expired) Waterways General Boating licence prior to starting IRB/RWC training, they can commence their training in the water without having to complete Workbook 1.
• The participant MUST be under the direct supervision of someone who holds a SLSA Silver Medallion IRB Driver Certificate/SLSNSW PowerCraft Licence.
• Either Workbook 1 or if applicable the Boat Licence must be on the beach during training.
• SLSNSW recommends that all members complete Workbook 1 in conjunction with, the PowerCraft Manual 6th Edition, to ensure that their knowledge and skills are up to date/current, regardless of you already holding the NSW Waterways General Boat Licence.  

NOTE: For more information regarding IRB and RWC prerequisites and licencing, refer to pages 5-7 in the Powercraft Workbook 1.
